I wanted to d/l and watch the higher rez videos, but something at the megaupload site tried to install itself on my computer after telling me "my files were in danger"! I shut my system down, rebooted, and ran a quick scan and no harm was done. I won't be going there again, even though my computer is well protected. Pity. The youtube tuts are great though, and I was delighted to see that the plant editor has some new tools and functions for making even better trees. Thanks for the tuts.

While possible from them, it could be an ad thats showing up.  Do you use Firefox and NoScript?  I have gotten an alert from the mega site before and just did the download, however I notice that noscript had scripts from some ad sites that wanted to run which I don't allow.

Thanks for the tutorials!!

Hi people, I never have problems with scripst in Megaupload, thats why I choose it to host the files.
About the plant editor theres more: you can now add more them one leaf at same time, in truth you can add leave groups! I am working in this tutorial.

Doh! I decided to recheck the megaupload site and studied the download page. In the middle of the page is a very official looking glossy green button that says "download", and it turns out that this is part of an ad. Apparently that is the one I clicked! The real download button is the upper right "download file" button which is an orange button, heheh. I had no problem d/l the tut, and it plays with no problem. Very nice work! Sorry for my overreaction GKDantas. 😊

No problem, I am still testing Megaupload as a host for the files... so any problem need to be understood before I contract the service.

Anyone know if there's going to be a Transposer version with this or is it no longer neccesary for Poser Content dynamic clothing?


GKDantas posted Wed, 19 May 2010 at 8:51 PM

That I know theres no Transporser version, but I dont know how will work dynamic cloth in Carrara since I dont use it.

 I use 64 bits version of Carrara 8 pro.No transposer (i have version 2 not for this carrara version)
But i have imported V4 with an poser dynamic cloth on without problem
Impressed by the speed of rendering  and displaying of C8 pro

You mean: I can import Pz3 figures with working dyn clothes into Carrara 8 just by using the native Importer ?

Yes that is it I use Poser pro 2010 with Win 7  64 bits and multiple runtimes See picture

Thank you martial, that is good to know!

Sorry about that but i remember that lots of my figures with dynamic dress have  been transformed with spawn morph target option
It because i don't use POser for animation so i delete all  frame except the one i need
So i have tried with all frames and dynamic transformation of the dress prop ;save a pz3 and try to import in C8pro
Result :the prop dress is there but without transformation and V4 is animated
So a dress prop with dynamic modification seems only be imported if you transformed it   with spawm morphes
I remember that with C7 and transposer it was the same situation
